I think data that is calculated (like this word-list data) does not belong on the wiki. It is by definition re-generatable, and not meant for gradual improvement by human labor. A simple _reference_ to such data for books/pages where it exists would be enough, i.e. a gadget or something that points to the word-list data on an external (even static!) Web server.
